It is hard to answer without seeing this code in context. My first guess would be that you are trying to bind the event listener before the component is rendered (and thus before the picture element exists).

It might have something to do with the Carousel intercepting some of the touch events. This is a very specific case that I haven't tried or ran into yet. There are some things on our list that have high priority right now, but I definitely want to come back to this and see if we can get this to work. Is there a way you can work around this functionality for now?

Hello. Just checking if any progress has been made on including a pinch function in a carousel -- I'd like to see a Sencha Touch photo album viewer that implements some of the functionality in the native "Photos" app on the iPad. Specifically, swiping left or right to view the next or previous photo, and pinching to zoom-in/out on the photo.
TIA.
